Title: Craws: The Sequel
Post by: Cheetam on March 21, 2010, 09:14:18 PM
I took what I learned from the first craw attempt and all the great input I got from everyone, so this is what I came up with.  Two different versions, really.  One is more on the green side, the other more brown.  Both are much darker than the Rusty Craw I posted last week.

Thanks guys.  I'm trying to get a different look on these baits, so they are still a work in progress.  I'll probably keep messing around with the color combinations and how the plates are laid out for a while (or until I get tired of "tinkering"  :D).

Funny you mentioned Dare Devil.  I painted up one of those a week or two ago.  I'll have your stuff waiting for you at my table (unless someone makes me a really good offer...). :o

Jeff - on the cranks that have the adjustable weight system, what size hooks would you suggest?

I use a #4 for both, but you could probably go as big as a #2 for the bottom hook.  IMO, though, the #4 is the perfect size.  Thanks again for stopping by!
